Google Takes Over The World... Or Just Advertising.

Ahhhh Google is there anything you don't do? Well, apparently no. Now you have created AdPlanner a "free product that promises to allow buyers to identify Web sites that match their desired target audiences -- and ultimately guiding them toward where they should spend their clients' dollars."  Dammit, I thought that was our job!

Well actually, this is really in direct competition for companies like Neilsen and Complete. But, is very user friendly for buyers, " the tool enables buyers to cherry pick individual sites based on their client's specific target demographics and calculate the total audience for an individual media campaign. Buyers have the option of creating a spreadsheet to compile this planning data or exporting it to DoubleClick's MediaVisor tool." 

Well, horray! I like when things get easier, well I assume my Media Buyer likes when things get easier. So check this out and get it. Because someday Google will take over the world and the more applications you have and use will make you one of the chosen people. You can live in the Google Utopia because you used Blogger instead of Typepad. I guess that makes me one of the outcasts, damn. AdWeek

I Can't Deny My Love For Beckham

So, this isn't the best commercial out there... but it has David Beckham in it.  I wish it were more like these, but who is complaining? I am not, I just love to see his beautiful face.  So, what was I talking about? Oh yeah, this commercial. It has something to do with Sharpies, I wasn't really paying attention.  But, I like his fight with a little girl. So, enjoy Mr. Beckham, I know I do. AdRants

Test Your HIV Smarts.

Positive or Not? MTVU has created a website creating awareness about HIV because, let's be honest, people are still pretty ignorant about this horrific virus.  Can you guess who is HIV positive or negative? The give you a chance to read the person's bio, then you can guess. Sterotypes have no pull in this game. Adverblog

Tiger Pulls At My Heart Strings.

I you don't live in a cave, you are aware that Tiger Woods won the U.S. Open in a very suspenseful fashion Monday. What was even cooler was the touching ad that played during the playoff by Wieden + Kennedy. Funny, that when Tiger was in extreme pain and pushing himself in the playoff, Nike premiered an outstanding ad narrated by his father about perseverance. Watch for yourself. It is rather touching. Too bad Tiger is having season-ending surgery soon.

Were Beer Commercials Ever Groundbreaking?

I just read an interesting article in Slate from Seth Stevenson about how beer ads are getting lame. I have a question for you Seth, were they ever groundbreaking master pieces? They have talking dogs for goodness sakes.

I think that Seth is over thinking beer ads. When I think of beer drinkers, I think of binge drinking frat guys, young hipsters at the bar, and the high school kids at the grocery store begging you to buy them beer. Yes, I know I am wrong, but am I really wrong?

I think Bud Light has the golden ticket. They know who drinks their beer, hence they create ads like this:

Fans of Bud Light like light hearted (no pun intended) humor. They want their commercials to "bring the funny." They aren't looking for a thoughtful piece about their beer.

So, get over it Seth. Take beer commercials for what they are worth. Slate
